Employers sometimes punish employees for speaking out about discrimination or other illegal behavior at work. And one of the most common ways companies punish such workers is by firing them.

Wrongful termination cases can be difficult under any circumstances. But when such cases involve an employer retaliating against an employee, the situation can become confrontational or even potentially dangerous.
